How many times have you seen Paul live?
-
I've seen him 7 times (plus Hey Grandude signing) & going to see him again in Paris in May 2020.
The first time I saw Paul was in London December 2009! I was 12 at the time & couldn't believe that I was actually going to be seeing the Paul McCartney in person. I was listening to GENYC non stop from the September before that. I thought that this gig was the peak of my Beatles fandom but it turned out to merely be the start of my massive McCartney fandom, finally getting into his solo stuff outside of just the hits. Our seats were right behind the VIPs where a lot of famous people walked past me but I didn't care as I was seeing Paul.
I always remember being told by the security guy to get back into my seat as I was dancing to Dance Tonight on the stairs down to the stalls area
I remember this gig very well & I'll always remember the opening notes of Magical Mystery Tour hitting & I just screamed.

I have front row for Ringo in Baltimore this June. He also played there in 2015. Hey Paul, you haven't been to Baltimore since 1964.

Prolly between 15 - 24 times... not enough! Especially because I know of friends who I see at shows and they've gone so many times. Some of the best people I've met!! I'm very happy for them and just a wee bit jealous...I can't really be sad tho, I'm very thankful and lucky for the concerts I have been to.

From my count, I've seen him 9 times
once in Washington DC (he did Michelle that night for Michelle Obama)
once in Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City (I remember he added "She's Leaving Home" from the previous Philly shows)
back to back in 2010 for the Philadelphia shows (great shows because he added a bunch of songs I had never seen before like Venus & Mars/Rock Show, Letting Go, 1985, Two of Us, I've Just Seen a Face, And I Love Her, I'm Looking Through etc)
Philadelphia 2005
Philadelphia 2002
Philadelphia 1993 (Veteran's Stadium)
Philadelphia back to back shows 1989 (Veteran's Stadium)
So my count is 9

Three times so far: Dublin in 2009 and 2010, and London in 2018. I also have a ticket for Nijmegen, though the forthcoming tour looks to be in doubt.
The first concert was magical and I thought it could never be topped. Until Ringo surprised us all in London by joining Paul on stage and I cried like a baby! An absolute dream come true.
-
Never! Barcelona this june was going to be my first time but I have already accepted it's probably not going to happen.
-
I'm hoping things clear up. I hope to maybe get another ticket somewhere to another show in Europe.
Let's all pray and IMAGINE and BELIEVE that it will all work out for Europe. Please think positive everyone! We will get through this. The more yo u stay in, the less it will affect other people and the faster it will go away. We can do this! Stay home, Facetime your friends. Good stuff online now. Make it be over faster, so we can all get back to concerts and going outside safe this summer. Let's protect our family and our friends.

As noted in my signature, I've seen him twice:
At MetLife Stadium on August 7, 2016 and MSG on September 15, 2017. -
wow, we have some very lucky fans on this board!! LOL
I have only seen Paul 1 time (as my signature states).
I'd love to see him again. Maybe one day.
-
One of these days, I'm going to get out all my t-shirts to try and figure it out! Still hoping for a miracle cure for the World and a good summer!!

I've seen Paul 29 times, and all of them were glorious. His love of performing always shines through, and I really enjoy the positive, communal energy of the audience. The first time was in St. Louis in 1993, and the last one was in Las Vegas last summer. My favorites were at Wrigley Field in Chicago, where he did insanely good back-to-back shows in the heat at the home of baseball's Chicago Cubs, and I had great seats for a show in a small arena in Moline, Illinois last year that was just an amazing view and a really fun time. And I was lucky enough to see him jump on stage to suprise Ringo for his birthday in New York City in 2010. I hope to see show number 30, and "with a little luck" maybe more if they can get this virus under control and allow for concerts again.
